Rotary-Pumped Sputter Coater/Carbon Coater

Q150R

The Q150R is a compact rotary-pumped coating system suitable for SEM sputtering with non-oxidising (noble) metals – e.g. gold (Au), gold/palladium (Au/Pd) and platinum (Pt) – and for carbon coating SEM specimens for EDS and WDS.

The Q150R is available in three formats: sputtering (Q150R S), carbon fibre coating (Q150R E) and a combined sputtering and carbon fibre coating system (Q150R ES).

Key features

  • Metal sputtering or carbon coating, or both – in one space-saving format
  • Rotary-pumped sputter coating – allows sputtering of a range of non-oxidising (noble) metals (e.g. Au, Pt, Ag and Pd)
  • Carbon fibre coating – ideal for SEM carbon coating applications (EDS and WDS)
  • Controlled pulse carbon cord evaporation – precise control, reduced carbon debris
  • Precise thickness control using the film thickness monitor option
  • Fully automatic touch screen control – rapid data input, simple operation
  • Easy-to-change, drop-in style specimen stages (rotation stage as standard)
